Mono-Green Landfall Stampede
StandardDeck Strategy
A Mono-Green Standard deck that uses Bushwhack, extra land drops, and a high land count to repeatedly trigger Mossborn Hydra and Rampaging Baloths before crashing through with giant dinosaurs.
Mossborn Hydra doubles its +1/+1 counters each time a land enters, and Doubling Season makes this even more explosive. Rampaging Baloths creates 4/4 Beast tokens on every landfall, and Doubling Season doubles those tokens as well. Evolving Wilds can be cracked at instant speed to trigger landfall, Bushwhack puts a Forest directly onto the battlefield when needed, and Loot, Exuberant Explorer helps play extra lands from exile. Primeval Bounty and Quilled Greatwurm add more payoffs for every land and creature enter.
Keep hands with at least two lands and a playable green spell. Bushwhack is premium because it both ramps and can trigger later landfall. Evolving Wilds is especially good in this land-heavy build. Mulligan hands without early interaction or without enough lands, because the deck needs to hit its land drops every turn to fuel landfall.
Early: play Bushwhack to put a Forest into play, set up Evolving Wilds, and try to make landfall happen every turn. Mid: turn ramp and extra lands into huge Mossborn Hydra or Beast tokens from Rampaging Baloths. Use Hulking Raptor and Pugnacious Hammerskull to keep pressure on. Late: cast Ghalta, Primal Hunger and Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant, use Doubling Season and Primeval Bounty to make the board impossible to contain, then attack with trample and massive token armies.
The deck is vulnerable to sweepers because most of its success depends on creatures and tokens staying on the battlefield. It can stumble against fast aggro decks, especially if they pressure before the landfall engine starts. Mossborn Hydra is also a removal magnet, so protecting it or having multiple landfall payoffs is important.
